Hi Steven,

Since I don't own a PS3, I cannot say for certain if it would be recognized.

As for my 'new controller' concepts comment, I'm referring to new ideas altogether, not modifying the PBW.

Ordering the PBW soon would ensure you get a unit with a real stainless steel lockdown bar. I recently purchased the remaining NOS Safe Cracker lockdown bars from the manufacturer, and we'll be using them until they are gone.

I might have to get it now while i can still get the lock down bar

Thats excellent.

I am still waiting for mine to arrive from ntekgaming.

We're picking up the last few orders from them, so, we're probably building it.

Lucky for you! The first run of PBW's will boast genuine, stainless steel lockdown bars!

wink.gif

Hi Noah how wide are the wide body lockdown bars you sell I built my cabinet to a williams wide body drawing I got from the net http://forum.arcadec...?topic=104284.0 my cabinet is 630mm with out the side rails will probably bend up some 2mm for those


24-3/4" is a widebody cab, and they are 1/8" wider than the cab (24-7/8"). Google says 630mm is 24.80". Should fit perfectly.

Can you give me a price to ship to perth australia?

that lockdown bar is nicer than the one on my cabinet. that has the rounded corners so it doesn't hurt the inside of your hands like mine does.

The above lockdown bar was made with a $8K-$10K tool. It should be better.

Might be a bit short at 20.6" inside dimension. It's a Safe Cracker lockdown bar!

Hello Noah! I am pretty new to the world of VP (but enjoying it endlessly) so I have never posted here before. Love this forum and what a great site Virtuapin.net is for any virtual pinball fan. I just ordered your new version of the pinball wizard controller and I was just praying/hoping/crossing fingers etc that I was not to late regarding getting that wonderful new steel lockdown bar? Been thinking about getting your virtua pin when I get some more cash, but I believe the vat/custom rate to Norway would make it to damn expensive (I will check on it though).

Keep up your excellent work
Karl

I gave up on the idea of building a cab and just now ordered the controller. Fingers crossed for the great looking lockbar. smile.gif

And i have a question about customs stuff, but i used the form in the website, since this is not exactly the virtuapin company forum, or is it? wink.gif

You're definitely getting the stainless lockdown bar, so you can relax those fingers.

wink.gif

As for the customs question, it is impossible for me to know what every country's policy is, but we ship via USPS, so your local customs agency will notify you.

Yay! dblthumb.gif

BTW: is it just me, or does the guy in your avatar look like the singer from Rammstein?
Edit: okay, i just used the google image search. That's Randy Orton, a wrestler?! Could have been Till, though. I think.

I have a decent supply of stainless steel. The website will be updated, when they are no longer available.

I can't really give an accurate shipping quote without more information.

To calculate shipping, just go to VirtuaPin.net and add it to Your Cart. You can calculate shipping without completing the sale.

hi noah... just a quick question.
does this controller fits into a standard bally table (theatre of magic)? i'm asking because it's a whooping 80 bucks to ship here in italy, so i'd like to be sure of this thing.
another thing... i cannot find ANY picture online of this thing mounted and working on a real cabinet... any hint?
thank you mate
